Chicago Knights Propose to Organize
Another Order Unless an 1temfxed Ac-
count of Receipts and Expenditure in
Furnished Them
CHICAGO, December LA morning paper
says: The chief movers in the attempt to
organize another oder of the Knights of
Labor have issued circular which is adj
dressed to the local assemblies of the
Knights of Labor in Cook county, reouest-
ing the local a semblies to Co operate in the
reorganization of the order of Knights ST
Labor on an honest and substantial basis.
The plan of action is, that each assembly
unless an itemized account of the receipts
and expenditures of the general assembly
be presented to the local assemblies, shall
assembly. The circular is sent out from
the headquarters of the provision committee,
of which Charles F. Seib is secretary. In
the preamble the members of the committee
say that they wish to sever their connection
with the order becauSe they are Indignant
at the usurpation of power; the gross viola
lions of the laws of our order by those high
in authority; disguised with those whose
loyalty to the present ring has been gained
by plckings they receive as a reward for
their services; incensed at the faw..ing
sycophants who crawl on their knees in slav-
ish submission to the most corrupt, the most
hypocritical, the most autocratic and tyran-
ical CLIQUE that ever controlled any labor
organization" Following this ell sorts of
charges are made against the general officers
and the general assembly. 1t is claimed
that the order is run by ring, the members
of which care nothing for workingmen. The
ring, or conspiracy, as their resolutions say,
is banded together for the purpose of hold
ing salaried positions under the general as
sembly.

Diverse Opinions.

TOLEDO, O., December S.-This evening g
Blade publishes letters from eighty men,
bers of congress in reply to the following
queries:
First-Do you favor revenue reduction?
Second-If SO, whether by cutting down
the tariff of internal revenue taxes?
Third-If the tariff, on what class of i'm
ports should it be reduced?
Nearly all the answers admitted the neces-
sity of revenue reduction by from $50, 600,
600 to 500, OOO, 900, but there was great di-
versity as to how it is to be affected. The
democratic revenue reformers strongly
urge the reduction of the tariff
on all articles that can be called the
necessaries of life, and generally favor the
retention of eternal revenue taxes except on
tobacco. The republicans and Randall
democrats as a rule, insist on the retention
of the tariff except upon sugar, and advocate
the abolition of nearly all internal
revenue taxation, the most common excep-
ton being whisky. There is general ex-
preston among republicans and some west
ern democrats in favor of large expendi-
lures for coast defenses, new navy, and
river and harbor improvements. The postal
telegraph also has many supporters.

Sharp Released on $4,000 Bail.

New YORK, December Jacob Sharp
was taken in a carriage, this morning, from
Ludlow Street Jail to the sheriff's Office. He
was accompanied by the warden, deputy
sheriff and grandson, George Sharp. He
seemed very feeble, and was supported on
either side by the warden and deputy sheriff,
while he leaned heavily on two canes. The
order granting new trial was settled before
Judge Barrett. and by mutual agreement
between District Attorney MARITIME and w.
Bourks Cochran, counsel for Sharp, it was
decided that Sharp's bond be fixed at $780,
600. The district attorney agreed to make
no opposition to the application for the ad-
mission of bail, and a bond was prepared,
Isaac Hendriax and George Shepherd each
1ustifying in the sum named. and few
minutes past noon Sharp was discharged
and driven home.

A Much Abused Man.

New YORK, December 2.-John Most, the
anarchist, prepared long address to the
public in regard to his late trial and convic-
ton, and says that as soon as the Chicago
anarchists were executed the "capitalistic
press" turn on him for victim. He asserts
that he has been very careful about talking
or writing since his last imprisonment; that
false statements have been made regarding
his speeches and bogus interviews published;
that the Pinkertons Swallowed him and tried
to provoke him to violence; intimates that
his arrest was the result of visit of Inspec-
tor Brnfeld, of Chicago, to this city; that 1t
was police conspiracy, backed by perjury
and unfair methods by the district attorney,
which caused his conviction.

A STRANGE AFFAIR.

A Bomb Thrown Into the House of Mrs. r.
Il. Rice at Lawrence-The Deed Supposed
to Have Been Perpetrated by a Univer-
sity Student-An Attempt Made to Hush
the Matter.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, December 2.-An
explosive bomb was thrown into the
house of Mrs. R. E. Rice, at No. 1900 Yer
mont street, last night at II o'clock. The
bomb was made from a finch gas pipe.
The pipe was filled with giant powder and
had fuse attached. 1t was thrown through
the window, but did not explode. Matches
were found on the grounds surrounding the
house near the window into which the bomb
was thrown. The crash awakened the fam
lily, who supposed that a rock had been
thrown into the house. A hasty examina-
ton revealed the character of the missile,
and the police were at once sent for. They
arrested boy living in the neighborhood by
the name of Stewart. He was kept over
night in the Jail. He disclaimed any knowI-
edge of the affair this morning and was dis
missed. The bomb is believed to have been
thrown by some member of one of the Sc
cret societies in the university. These So
cleties have lately been very severely criti-
clsed for their practices and an effort way
being made to force them out of the univer-
sity. Mrs. Rice is supposed to have been
The Leading lnstlgator OF this movement, and
the author of the letters appearing in the
Lawrence Tribune and The TOPEKA CON-
MoNwEALTH.in regard to them. There is
much excitement in the university and in
Lawrence over the matter.
Mrs. Rice and family are old residents of
Lawrence. For several years she has kept
boarding house for students. Some time ago
her house was boycotted by the secret
fraternities. She has q son and daughter
attending the university. Her house is but
a half mile from the university buildings. 1t
is not thought that the bomb throwers will
be found out. The police have not taken
hold of the matter, and it seems to be the
intention of the city authorities and the uni
versity professors to hush the matter up as
much as possible and make light of it. The
opinion of some is that the bomb was thrown
to brighten Mrs. Rice into leaving the city,
and that it was not intended to be exploded.
Still others say that it was only Students
Joke.

Prospect of Bloodshed.

CARBoNDALE, Pa, December 2.-The
latest news of the Lehigh strike received
here is that 1000 Belgian mixers have been
employed in the old country, to come to this
country for the purpose of working the
mines of Eckley B. Coke. If the Belgians
come here there will be bloodshe6 in the
Lehigh region, for the men there feel that
they might as well die fighting as to starve
to death on the wayside in midwinter. for if
they are driven out of the Lehigh field they
will be Disseminated against and blacklisted
by every boss in the Anthracite valley of
PENNSYLVANIA, and they will not be able to
find work anywhere.

THE FRENCH SITUATION.


NJ. Grevy Succumbs and Hands In His
Resignation.
PARIS, December 2.-The deputies re-
ceived the message with profound silence.
Nj. Floquet read a letter from the president
of the senate summoning congress of the
two chambers at Versailles tomorrow, for
the purpose of selecting new president.
The 81 ting then closed amid cries of give
la republique!
The text of NJ. Crews message of resig-
nation is as follows:
so long as had only to contend with the
difficulties that have accumulated in my
path. the attacks Of the press. the abstention
of men whom the public voice called to my
side and the increasing impossibility to form
a ministry, struggled On and remained
where duty bade me; but at the moment
when public opinion, better informed,
marked change which gave me hope of
chamber of deputies voted double resolu-
ton. which, under the form of adjournment
to fixed hour to await the presidents prom
ised message is tantamount to summoning
the president to resign. 1t would be my
duty and right to resist, but under the cir
cum stances in which we are placed, q con-
fict between the executive and parliament
might entail consequences which restrain
me. Wisdom and patriotism command me
to yield" .,,. uo,.r,+ ,,+

to which have been twice raised without So
licitation, and on the exercising of which
feel conscious I have done my duty. To
this call France to witness. France will
say that for nine years my government has
secured to the country peace. order and lib
erty; has made France respected throughout
the world; has worked unremittingly to raise
her, and in the midst of armed Europe
leaves her in condition to defend her hon.
or and rights; further. that it has been able
to keep the republic in wise internal
course marked out by the interests and
wishes of the country. France will say that
in return for this have been removed from
the post where her confidence placed me. In
leaving political life / form tut one wish.
It is that the republic may not be struck by
blows aimed at myself, but that it may
issue triumphant from the dangers it
is made to incur. place on the bureau of
the chamber of deputies my resignation of
the functions of president of the French
republic"
In pursuance of the order to generals to
re DIN their commands General Boulanger
has returned to Clerimont Ferrand, his
headquarters. His departure from Paris
was unDOticed.
The general aspect of Paris at $50 o'clock
was quiet. This evening, on pretext that
the republic was threatened, hundreds of
revolutionists and socialists, followed by a
big crowd composed of all elements. started
for the Hotel DeviIle. Police and cavalry
charged the mob, which retaliated with q
volley of stones. A number of persons
were wounded. The mob was dispersed.
The municipal council has decided to con-
tinue in permanent session.

Cuttings Case Reopened.


WASHINGTON, December 3.-The officials
OF the department of state are at loss to
account for the feeling that appears to have
arisen in Mexico as result of the discus
sion of the Cutting case. II IS
said that the subject has b EN-
presented to the Mexican government In
accordance with the forms of international
law, with view to the settlement of prin-
cipal and not with any intention of endeav-
oring to enforce a ve1atious claim in an ar
bitrary manner. AS matter of fact. there
has been no new presentation of Cut
ting's claim against the Mexi-
can government. The history of the case
is as follows: Just before Cuttings release
the Mexican government had transmitted
to Washington a long statement of its
position On in the m astns HRhol Of
the Mexican code, which has been ques-
toned by this government as al assump-
ton of extra territorial jurisdiction that
could not be admitted by the United States.
When Cutting was released the correspond
ence was allowed to lapse for a
time and no answer was made to the
Mexican contention at that time, the object
being to allow the strained relations between
the two countries to become less intense, and
the bad feeling to subside. Recently,
however, the department of state,
deeming it prudent to come
to an understanding upon point that
might in future cause serious. international
trouble, resumed the discussion, making an
answer to the Mexican contention and point
ing out the desirability Of a modification of
the Objectionable Mexican statute. These
facts have been presented to the
Mexican government in support of the po-
sition assumed by the department of state,
but no fixed money indemnity has been
demanded in Cuttings case and
nothing has been said that would, in the
Judgment of the department., warrant the
creation of any ill-feeling between the two
countries.

the United States circuit court for the dis
trict of Nebraska, issued RESTRAINING order
to prevent the mayor and city council of

be be arrested and thrown into prison, to be

They petitioned the United States court for
q writ of habeas corpus and that court to-
day granted rule to show cause why such
writ should not be granted, returnable on
